There were three ra'ens sat on a tree,
Down a down, hey down a down,
There were three ra'ens sat on a tree,
With a down.
There were three ra'ens sat on a tree,
They were as black as they might be,
With a down, derry, derry, derry down, down.
Down in yonder greene field,
Down, a down, hey down a down,
Down in yonder greene field,
With a down.
Down in yonder greene field,
There lies a knight slain under his shield,
With a down, derry, derry, derry down, down.
Down there comes a fallow doe
Down, a down, hey down a down,
Down there comes a fallow doe
With a down.
Down there comes a fallow doe
As great with young as might she go
With a down, derry, derry, derry down, down.
She lift' up his bloody head,
Down, a down, hey down a down,
She lift' up his bloody head,
With a down.
She lift' up his bloody head,
And kissed his wounds that were so red,
With a down, derry, derry, derry down, down.
She buried him before the prime
Down, a down, hey down a down,
She buried him before the prime
With a down.
She buried him before the prime
Was dead herself ere e'en-song time,
With a down, derry, derry, derry down, down.
